The Perko 1445DP8CHR is an all-round navigation light on a 60 inch aluminum pole, with a polymer top and collar and a clear fluted lens. The pole has a 5 degree rake and one locking collar, and a 12 volt bulb is included. Its certification covers power-driven boats shorter than 20 meters. The locking collar fits Perko two-pin bases numbered 1045, 1046, 1047 and 1060, so match your base before you fit it.

Our take

The locking collar fits Perko two-pin bases numbered 1045, 1046, 1047 and 1060, so whether this pole fits comes down to the base already on your boat. The 12 volt bulb is included and the 60 inch pole carries a 5 degree rake.

From our buying guide

The lights a boat must show depend on its length and how it's being driven. A sailboat under power is a power-driven vessel and shows power-driven lights.

Check before you buy:

  • The label gives its visibility in nautical miles, and that range meets the minimum for your boat's length.
  • The maker rates it for boats of your length.
  • A replacement LED is certified with the fixture it's going into, since the Coast Guard warns that replacement lighting may not meet the rules.
